After playing Cyberpunk 2077, I've often imagined being a cyberpunk hacker rebelling against monolithic corporations, but then I have also realised that I have absolutely no clue how to code to save my life – and if you have ever had this experience, then I have a feeling you will enjoy Radiotext.

Set in a dark, gritty Cyberpunk world, Radiotext sees you writing commands into the long-lost net on a beaten-up old cyberdeck in your dingy apartment, communicating with rebels and other random citizens on the radio waves as you uncover what is going on in the city you have the (dis) pleasure of living in.

With as few spoilers as possible, the game starts with you receiving a mysterious message telling you to stay home and not go to work tomorrow, as the building is set to explode at the hands of a rebellious organisation. This then opens up to you learning a vast amount of commands and code that will help you rebel against the megacorporations.

Radiotext boasts an immersive visual design and art style, creating a believable and realistic-feeling world from the simplicity of a small room and a CRT monitor; everything from the keyboard click sound effects to the burning green, red, yellow, or blue text fits the world so well and really makes you feel a part of an undercover hacking organisation sabotaging the people in power from down below.

With a playtime of 4-5 hours, Radiotext also respects your time while still offering content after the main story concludes, so no matter your time constraints, you should have a great experience with the game.

Overall, if you are a fan of coding, or have no clue about coding at all (like me), and just want a quick, good, immersive cyberpunk experience, then Radiotext is for you. Pick it up on Steam for £9.99, or get it right now for 30% off, making it £6.99.
